Guidance for Industry on FDA Recommendations for Sampling and Testing Yellow Corn and Dry-Milled Yellow Corn Shipments Intended for Human Food Use for Cry9C Protein Residues; Availability

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a guidance document entitled "FDA Recommendations for Sampling and Testing Yellow Corn and Dry-Milled Yellow Corn Shipments Intended for Human Food Use for Cry9C Protein Residues." Cry9C is a pesticidal protein that was introduced into the StarLink TM variety of yellow corn using recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) techniques to make the corn more resistant to certain types of insects. StarLink TM corn is lawful only for use in animal feed, not human food. However, some Cry9C-containing corn was commingled with yellow corn intended for human use. This document outlines the approach that FDA recommends to manufacturers of corn products for human food use for sampling and testing yellow corn (and milled yellow corn in certain situations) in order to minimize the production of human food products with corn containing the Cry9C protein.
